BACKGROUND After a decade of planning efforts, the Alviso Adobe Community Park was opened in October 2008. The Alviso Adobe Community Park is a unique historical asset in the Tri- Valley region. The Francisco Solano Alviso Adobe House built in 1854 is registered as a California historical landmark. The Park serves both as a historical and environmental resource, offering interpretive and interactive programs to City of Pleasanton residents and visitors. Since 2008, the City has offered numerous historical, cultural and environmental education programs, as well as special events and school tours. Even after more than 5 years of this intensive programming effort, the City received feedback that the site was underutilized and needed additional site improvements and resources to reach its full potential. This feedback was also echoed during both the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Cultural Plan Update processes. To address this situation, on June 4, 2013, the City Council modified and approved its Annual Work Plan to include the development of a strategic plan to address the short- term and long-term needs of the Alviso Adobe Community Park. The strategic plan's purpose was to reaffirm or modify the City's existing approach to programming the facility, as well as the vision, mission, and guiding principles for the Alviso Adobe Community Park. Between June 2013 and July 2015 a multitude of meetings were held including staff meetings, task force meetings, community workshops, as well as a survey of the community was implemented. All of this data collection led to the development and creation of the Alviso Adobe Strategic Plan. On July 21, 2015 the City Council approved the Alviso Adobe Community Park Strategic Plan and also directed staff to begin the development of an Implementation Plan. Since then, staff and the Alviso Adobe Strategic Plan Task Force have met and developed an Implementation Plan. The purpose of the Implementation Plan is to identify tasks that are related to each strategy listed in the Strategic Plan. The Implementation Plan also indicates the resources that are needed, and the priority and timeframe projected to complete each task. DISCUSSION City staff has worked to create an implementation plan that incorporated as many items as possible that were discussed during the Strategic Planning process. Each identified strategy in the Strategic Plan contains multiple key implementation tasks. These tasks range in priority, resources needed and timeframe. Where possible, staff included the projected project costs and available funding sources (Attachment 1). Staff met with the Task Force in September 2016 to review a draft of the Implementation Plan. The feedback received from that meeting and emails were then used to create a final draft of the Implementation Plan. On May 25, 2017, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the Implementation Plan and recommended the approval by the City Council with the following changes: Page 2 of 3
